I think you are right. Well for now, lets just carry on and if he returns GRATE! If not, just don't talk to Twilight! She and Pinkie should be treated as sorta non entries for the time being. There, but not impotent to the story or people you should interact with if you can help it.

Seriously G, that whole story I just kept hearing it in Twilight's voice from Mentally Advanced Series during this bit:

Twilight Sparkle: Don't you call me an idiot! Where are you guys? Oh, here we go. Come here. So let's all hear a real horror story.[thunder booming]Twilight Sparkle: ...So I sewed up the wound, thinking in my childlike naivete that I'd successfully completed the surgery. However, about a day later, I was appalled to discover that I'd punctured an intestine and that the patient was becoming septic. I tried to go back and correct the mistake, but that's when I learned my first lesson about proper procedures.[thunder booming]Twilight Sparkle: I hadn't shaved the surgical area, and as a result, some hair got in the patient's wound.Rarity: [fearful moans]Twilight Sparkle: The consequence was an allergic reaction that caused inflammation, and that only complicated the issue. Afterward, long story short, Celestia explained to me that's why I couldn't keep the puppy. Also, it died. So alright! Horrible stories: check! The happy ending is that these days I can perform that kind of surgery blindfolded and with my bare hooves.Applejack: Twi, your childhood was kinda terrible. How do y'all tell a story like that and then just go around smilin' and-and actin' like nothing's the matter?

If everyone wants to go in a different direction I'll have Cameron go back but I'll continue to have him wait if you're coming into town

There ya go. Sorry about how long it took to get you Cameron, but the group is back together at last or will be as soon as they make it back to the car fort. From there, I think a few people have requested a little time to recover from everything that just happened, but then everyone will push onto the portal.

Actually...trying to make an account is confusing. I can't figure out how to name myself properly. But whatever. I'm the same person as above, but this was my second attempt at making an account. I think I'll just stick with this one.
